Most Victorian corsets achieve the "hourglass" silhouette by compressing the waist and pushing the excess flesh up and down, which can create a significant tummy bulge. Doesn't matter in 1860's corsets with straight busks worn with voluminous skirts. Does matter in late Victorian styles that fit closer to the body, and Edwardian styles.
